Chapter 237: Napa Valley's Wine Festival (Part II)

How much money Hawkes has, Zhang Bin doesn't know.

However, from the rough exchange, he seems to be able to estimate that the couple's assets are at least not less than $20 billion.

But such a rich couple, judging from the afternoon exchange, is nothing more ordinary, like a bunch of ordinary farm couples.

But when it comes to business, they seem to be shrewd capitalists, who seem to know everything about making money and are familiar with everything.

As for the contest they talked about, Zhang Bin only learned in the afternoon that it turned out to be the so-called "Iron Man" triathlon.

Marksmanship, swimming and horse racing.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Johnson had just walked in from outside when he was pulled by Hawkes.

"Johnson, my old friend, it's been a long time since I've had a fight, and I've missed you a little", Hawks couldn't help but pull Johnson to the back.

"Can I take a break? Do you know how much business I talked about today? Johnson actually refused in his heart, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu naturally followed to see the excitement.

Half an hour later, in all three races, except for swimming, which was slightly worse, the other two Hawkes took the lead.

Bill walked up to Johnson with some smugness and said with a smile: "Now you know how good my dad is."

Johnson said helplessly: "Come on, little brat, I'm too tired."

He was responded with a gesture of disdain.

In the evening, the manor held a small celebratory party, and all the guests of Harran arrived.

Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu, Johnson and Hawkes' family.

In Kerry's words, the people who were able to stay in Harlan's house were very distinguished guests.

There are dozens of large and small wineries in the entire Napa Valley, but there are only a few top wineries, and the guests who can stay in these wineries will be able to have seats at the auction tomorrow night.

Zhang Bin felt very honored, if he hadn't accidentally had the 20% shares, I am afraid that he would not have this treatment.

Any gap is always made in comparison, not to mention Hawkes, even Johnson himself feels that it is a little worse.

So he had already decided that when this trip abroad was over, he would enroll in some advanced training courses and, most importantly, make up his English.

Throughout the dinner, Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu and Bill with his mother, oh, and a dog, Jane.

They talked about some things in life, about each other's cultural differences, about married life, and there seemed to be nothing to talk about.

Speaking of Bill, Anna's face was full of tenderness, but her eyes were full of guilt, because she felt that her husband and wife had made the child look like this.

Anna told Zhang Bin that she and Hawks were actually close married, and Hawkes was her cousin, her cousin.

Bill's albinism can't see the light because he can't be exposed to ultraviolet rays, unless he wears a black hood, and most of the time he stays at home, lacking peer communication and social care, resulting in a weird temperament and moody mood.

But for the Hawkes, the fact that their son is alive and well is the greatest gift to them.

At night, lying in bed, Zhou Jingyu seemed to feel a trace of depression in Zhang Bin's mood.

"What's wrong with you at night, you don't seem to be in a good mood," Zhou Jingyu asked.

"Do you think I'm too young?" Zhang Bin asked.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Jingyu didn't understand.

"Although Hawkes and others are polite to me on the surface, I can feel that in their eyes, I am still just a child," Zhang Bin said with some melancholy.

Zhou Jingyu burst out laughing, patted Zhang Bin's hand and said, "Are you praising yourself or saying that people are too old?"

"Don't you understand what I mean? They still look down on me a little," Zhang Bin said, turning his head to look at Zhou Jingyu.

Zhou Jingyu pursed her lips and lay on Zhang Bin's chest, her fingers drawing circles on his lower abdomen, and said for a while: "Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" ”

"In their eyes, you are a child, but the fact is that you are a child, you are only 18 years old this year, what are other 18-year-old children doing, what are you doing, you are not happy to be looked down upon, because you are too highly praised by everyone in China."

"You may be very capable, but in someone like Hawkes, that's all, to make them really look up to you, and even respect you from the heart, not just how much money you make, but how much you have, maybe you think what I say is a bit heavy, but in fact, you need to learn a lot more than them."

"Bin Bin, your top priority now is not how much money you make, not how many things you have to do, but to correct your mentality, you just treat yourself as a child, a child who can make money and has some ability, don't put yourself in such a high position, some things are not something you can solve alone."

Zhou Jingyu suddenly stopped talking and fell silent.

"Anything else?" Zhang Bin stroked Zhou Jingyu's smooth back and asked.

"You're putting too much pressure on yourself and you're expecting too much from yourself, and you don't want to disappoint yourself and you don't want to disappoint the people around you, so you keep moving forward for fear of failure. You have the pride in your bones, and you don't want to bow your head easily, but there are some things that we might as well put down and look at them, if there are no interests involved, why not put yourself right and enjoy it", Zhou Jingyu said.

"The most important thing is that you are still very young, this is your greatest capital, you still have a lot of time, if you feel that you are being looked down upon, you can slowly enrich yourself, one day sooner, I believe you will stand in the position of your dreams."

"I must have been holding back these words for a long time," Zhang Bin asked.

"You have these thoughts since you were caught in the public opinion incident some time ago, the higher you stand, the more people you follow, the more dangerous you will be, there is no way to change this", Zhou Jingyu said, "In fact, you look at Uncle Hawkes and Anna, although they are also very rich, but they separate work and life very much, they actually have the ability to dilute themselves."

I don't know when, Zhang Bin fell asleep.

Zhou Jingyu lay beside him, covered the quilt for him, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhang Bin and Zhou Jingyu went downstairs in good spirits.

Hawkes was teaching Bill some simple exercises in the yard as Anna watched with a satisfied smile on her face.

Bill's body is too weak and he needs to do some exercise to improve his fitness.

"Morning", Zhang Bin said hello to them.

Compared with Zhang Bin, the Hawks family seems to have more chat topics with Zhou Jingyu.

Johnson also woke up early and went for a swim in the pool at the back.

"So early?" Seeing Zhang Bin get up, Johnson greeted with a smile.

"Neither are you, I'll go see if Mr. Harlan needs help," Zhang Bin said with a smile.

In the restaurant, the daily meals are arranged and arranged by Mr. Harlan himself, and he is always so attentive to the guests.

"Zhang, are you hungry so early? I'm really sorry, breakfast will be ready soon", Harlan said with some apologies when he saw Zhang Bin come in.

Zhang Bin can only have some simple English conversations, and the slightly more complex ones need to be translated.

"No, I just want to see if there is anyone who needs help," Zhang Bin said with a smile.

"What a nice young man, thank you, if you have time, why don't you come with me to the cellar and get some drinks?" Harlan invited with a smile.

"I think I'm happy to do this", Zhang Bin agreed with a smile.
